A lot of my readers are working on a novel. In our conversations over email, we’ve discussed the most common problems they and I have been facing.

“Plot” is a problem that came up a lot. “Planning” and “pacing” were also a very common complaint.

Now, my goal is to be helpful, so I thought about how I teach novel-writing, and in particular how I advise aspiring novelists to get started.

I actually have a methodology for helping writers start their novels in a way that grab’s their reader’s attention.

This framework also leads into a plan for narrating and plotting the entire manuscript.

• Why plot "structure" may not help you get started.
• Readers are seeking a relationship with your book
• Why most novels need two narrative voices.
• How to make a great main character.
